Sound over bluetooth a2dp?

There seems to be no way to listen to music or the soundtrack of a video via Bluetooth a2dp ...
Tried with both the music player and vplayer but each time the sound only comes from the phone speaker and not the Bluetooth device.
Anyone managed this?

It works with the stock rom but I haven't seen any custom roms with it fully operational for media, just for calls.

Thanks, it seems there are a couple of widgets in the market that add the functionality. At least it's not a hardware limitation.

What apps are those? I want to try them please.

I have no problem with the stock ROM but i do use this...
A2DP Volume, you can get it on the market, it's Free.

The one I tried was called bluetooth audio widget, free trial. Will try a2dp volume though as the one I tried seemed to interfere with dsp manager so I installed.

Just tried a2dp volume and it doesn't work for me. That's with leedroid v1.2. Maybe this only works on stock?

Got a2dp volume to work. Seems to do the job well for audio only but has anyone tried watching a video using Bluetooth a2dp for sound? Everything is completely out of sync. I don't there is anyway round this but thought I'd put it out there?
Same with stock player and vplayer.

Just tried Bluetooth audio widget again from the market and this keeps the audio in sync nicely, the only problem being that the quality is pathetic.
Anyone know of a better alternative that keeps audio and video sync?

weird audio problem

When I connect head phones to my x10a the audio is distorted badly. it doesnt matter if I connect headphones or a aux cord to the phone to listen to music in the car the audio is distorted and the music app I use (pandora,last fm,slacker) all become unlistenable. Is there a app or a hack I need to do? I already did a warranty exchange with the phone.. any help will be appreciated.

Do your headphones have a microphone on them? That happened to me as well, so I got some headphones without a mic, and now it's crystal clear. I have altec brand headphones now and they are awesome. If you get new onss, I highly recommend getting those.

Choppy Bluetooth audio on JB cm10.1 by quarx

After updating to JB 4.2.2 rom with cm10.1 Bluetooth stereo output is choppy usually and also there is no sound when an incoming call is received with Bluetooth stereo headset is paired...
I am attaching system info for reference please help...
Level of choppy audio depends upon usage of phone ie; more i use phone while listening to songs more choppy audio is, is there any way to fix it, by the way i am using Apollo music player and switching to another player doesn't help and only Bluetooth audio is choppy while wired one awesome

That is a known bug. Please read the OP of the CM10.1 thread.

[Q] No Stereo, Only Mono audio output - AT&T GS4

I've recently just started having this problem where all my audio is playing back in mono.
At first I thought it was my headphones, but I've tried 4 different sets of headphones.
Then I thought it was my headphone jack as I've read some people have had headphone jack problems on other brands and models of phones.
So decided to try a stereo bluetooth headset, but it still plays everything back in mono.
I then thought that maybe it's Google Play Music that's streaming and/or downloading all my stereo music tracks in mono as that was the app I was using to test my theories.
Then my last test was to download a Stereo Left-Right Test.mp3 file. It's just some guy with a French accent saying Left-Right-Left, etc out of the corresponding channels.
I uploaded it to Google Play Music and I also transferred it to my phone directly to test in other music playing apps.
UUGGGGHHHH!!!!
No matter what, that file also plays back in mono even when trying different headphones and the stereo bluetooth headset.
What the heck?
Now here comes my stupid question. Is there some setting somewhere in my phone that I cannot find that switches between stereo and mono?
I've searched my S4 and I searched the web and cannot find anything on this.
Please help!!!

Are you running a custom ROM? Which firmware are you on?

No custom Rom. Rooted though.
Running stock Baseband I337UCUAMF3 / JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
I did have Xposed Framework and Wanum Xposed installed, but I uninstalled them when I was trying to troubleshoot the mono thing.

Anybody out there have any solutions?

There's an option in accessibility to turn on/off mono audio. Perhaps you accidentally turned that on.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don't remember ever changing that setting, but maybe my kids did it.
Again thank you.

Music skips and changes speed/pitch using Google Play Music through Bluetooth speaker

Hi guys. I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue I am.
In no certain frequency, when I'm playing music through my Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker from the Google Play Music app, it will sometimes skip and speed up/change pitch. It seems to happen on both WiFi and LTE. Haven't noticed it through plugged-in headphones.
I also noticed it when I had an AT&T Galaxy S4 through a Logitech Bluetooth stereo adapter and a Creative D100 Bluetooth speaker using the same app - Google Play Music.
I had both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and never noticed it with either device.
All my devices have had the stock roms (non-rooted), and were always up to date. My Galaxy S5 is on Verizon. I haven't tried any music through the native music player app (such an mp3 or flac) but will update when I do.
Very annoying issue, especially for a musically sensitive person such as myself! I have sent multiple bug reports through the Google reporting process, and I guess I need to figure out how to send some to Samsung. Just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issues. Didn't see any other mentions of it on XDA. My apologies if there are similar posts on here and I didn't see them. Thanks!

I would root the device & keep the stock rom and install Viper4Android, It's the best sound app/mod that I have ever used and It will let you adjust all of your bluetooth sounds.

For me It's worth rooting just so I can use Viper4Android..

I think it's the Bose device. I have the same issue with the Bose SoundLink Mini. Completely different phone than you. Droid Turbo. Never happens with any other Bluetooth headphones or with my car. It's very annoying. Any slight interruption in the audio stream to the Bose, and the music's pitch goes up like a quarter step. No it doesn't happen on any other Bluetooth device I have nor does it do it on the phones speaker or plugged headphones.
Apparently many people are having this issue with Bose SoundLink and similar devices. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=69397

I got a Bose Color SoundLink for Christmas, playing a station on TuneIn...after a little while there's a slight pause and the music starts up again at a faster speed! I was wondering if anyone else was hearing this and now I see its other Bose owners. Same thing happened with YouTube.
I have a rooted Note 3 running KitKat. Not upgrading to Lollipop.
Never happens if I use my LG BT earbuds or BT to my other little portable speakers.
